Art Schop is back with a new album called “Wittgenstein Wandering”, and it’s a 10-track release that sounds calm, honest, and easy to get lost in. The first thing that stood out to us was the vocals. They’re simple, soft, and feel real, not overdone. There’s something nice about how relaxed everything sounds, like the songs are just flowing naturally. The melodies follow that same path too, very smooth and kind of stay with you after listening.
The guitar work is another big highlight. It’s warm and full of feeling. You can tell there’s care in how everything is played. It supports the songs and fits the whole mood of the album. The songwriting here is personal and honest. Some titles are almost like thinking out loud but in music form. That gives the album a bit of depth without making it hard to listen to.
We honestly think this is one of the better releases we’ve heard recently. It’s the kind of album you put on and just let it play without skipping. Easy to enjoy, easy to come back to. We’d definitely love to hear more from Art Schop in the future.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Brooklyn’s Art Schop is the solo project of contemporary rock musician Martin G. Walker. Exploring historical and modern ideas, Art Schop’s music is skillfully crafted with earnest consonance and poetic lyricism that inspire people to see the world in new ways.
Born in the UK, Art Schop studied Physics at the University of Oxford, where he learned he would not be a physicist. After a stint as a consultant in London, he realized he was no better suited for commerce. Thus, he moved to New York and reconnected with his musical roots. For him, songwriting is nothing short of miraculous: pieces emerge and live in the world while also speaking his inner truth.
As a songwriter with an intent to make a difference, Art Schop strives to communicate beautiful and uncomfortable truths about human existence. Inspired by Schopenhauer’s World as Will and Representation, the artist developed an original theory that connects the universal laws governing the physical world with the foundation of morality and the meaning of life. This philosophy informs his life and art, and, particularly, pulses through his upcoming album Starguide.
Art Schop is an explorer of ideas, calling for awareness and deep connection. His previous albums, Death Waits I and Death Waits II, were recorded over several years in collaboration with musical genius Jimi Zhivago. Art Schop’s vanguard sound beckons those following their own paths and searching for truth beyond the ordinary.
